You should be able to do this without a problem. Once you change and
activate the new range, any new IP numbers will be assigned from that
range and the expired leases from outside the range will be assigned new
addresses. Once all of the leases are renewed with new IP numbers, you
can assign statics to those IP numbers that were freed up.

I've never had to this before because my starting DHCP address has always
been 192.168.1.60 on my IPCop box so I've always had enough static IP's, but
now I need to add more static IP's. My question is can I change the start
address for DHCP from .60 to say .70 even though computers have been
assigned an address such as .65? The lease renewal time for IP's in this
range is only a couple hours away so I won't be statically assigning
anything to those addresses until the lease is up. Just wondering if I can
change the starting DHCP address now without screwing things up or having to
go find the machines and shut them down to release the address?
